Imperial Guard Musashi: "Sir, the enemy... we've received word of a massive battalion of reinforcements through those accursed rifts."

Captain Rujiyo: "Where are they headed, Musashi?"

Imperial Guard Musashi: "That's the problem, Captain. Their numbers are too great to confront. They are headed straight for the monastery and we haven't the resources to stop them."

Captain Rujiyo: "Then we'll fight them here, right by the emperor's side. This is our last stand."

Captain Rujiyo: "Muster every villager, farmer, commoner, mercenary, and henchman you can find. We cannot fail!"

Imperial Guard Musashi: "Yes, Captain!"

Captain Rujiyo: "Canthans, guests from afar, students of the monastery, and able-bodied heroes-for-hire, all of you listen to me!"

Captain Rujiyo: "Our enemy approaches with a mighty army, one we cannot defeat without your assistance."

Captain Rujiyo: "Now is the time to stand up and fight for your homeland, your countrymen, and your freedom. Those willing to take up arms and head to the front lines should see me for orders. May the emperor's blessings be upon you."

"We're in serious trouble, [Character Name]. Our foes have pushed through our defenses and have nearly reached the monastery. This is our final line of defense, our last stand. We cannot allow the monastery to fall. Will you join us and fight for the emperor?"
